The Right Way To Serve Caviar To Guests
While some prefer using caviar as an ingredient for their main dish, others prefer eating fish roes directly from the caviar using the mother of pearl spoon. Though there are endless ways to enjoy the delicious caviar, there is only a single way to serve fish roe to the guests - in caviar serving sets.
Caviar is a delicacy that you must always eat using a special caviar spoon - generally made of mother of pearl, bone, glass, or porcelain. As the material of an ordinary spoon can interfere with the taste of caviar, it is best to avoid using a serving spoon made of metal or wood. This way, the fresh fish roes don’t get contaminated or absorb the material’s flavor and leave no metallic aftertaste. Besides the serving spoons, you must always buy caviar serving utensils that don’t affect the delicious taste of your precious caviar.
Generally, caviar is consumed only in small quantities. So, it would be best if you used small-size serving utensils that are designed specifically for caviar. As heat and air are no friends with caviar and alter the flavors of these delicacies, it is suggested to use a serve-ware, like a bowl, that you can keep on ice to keep the caviars fresh and cold.
The right temperature to enjoy caviar is between 26-34℉. As heat can alter the quality of caviars and your fresh fish roes may become soft and pungent, always use an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator until you serve it to your guests. That said, some prefer to eat caviar at room temperature to enjoy a soft texture and stronger taste; however, you must keep fish roes chilled to maintain freshness.
How much caviar you must serve to your guests depends on the number of caviar-lovers at the dinner. If you’re serving caviar with champagne or vodka, you might need at least 2 oz per person. You can buy caviar serving utensils with short glasses that allow your guests to enjoy their drinks with caviars. But if you are planning a caviar-based appetizer, you might need up to 4oz to ensure every caviar-lover will enjoy its delicious taste to the fullest.
